And room was made for Stratton, who hasn't even vaguely lived up to first-round-pick expectations, by getting rid of Kontos, who used to pitch well in relief.campanarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-11324363283488692362017-08-05T12:53:21.538-07:002017-08-05T12:53:21.538-07:00Kontos waived, claimed by the Pirates.

Good luck to him.<br /><br />Ron, was it you who said "veteran purge"? Makes sense, youngsters cost a lot less and have that elusive "upside" we all seek. Who's next? Clearly Cain will be released at the end of the season. Gearrin, maybe? He's a bit like Kontos in age and contract status. Of course he'd have to be replaced, I wonder if there's a guy waiting and ready. I suppose we'll see.<br />M.C.

If they go 21-30 (.412)...Giants have 51 games left. If they go 21-30 (.412) they'll finish 63-99 thus avoiding 100 losses. That's the only thing left for me to root for. I guess Panda will get his shot after all. He can't be worse than anyone else we've had to endure this season.<br /><br />Just win 21 more games, Giants. That's all I want. Then we can bury the bones of this horrid year and look forward to next year.<br />M.C.

They could win 110 games.<br /><br />And what more abuse does Belt have to take? That guy has been really banged up in his career. Such a shame, the Giants don't really have any steady hitters besides Belt and Posey. Let's hope he gets well soon, if not for the Giants then for his own sake, his career and life after the game.<br />M.C.
